G.A. Hentry’s historical adventure novels for boys were extremely popular during the height of the British Empire. They played on the excitement and adventure of conquering strange lands. These tales were often set in distant lands like Mexico, Alexandria, Siberia and many other countries then largely unexplored by westerners. Hentry often had young boys as protagonists who would witness grand historical events, get involved in some military action and show what they called ‘English’ courage.
